Ophelia Redpath, "Evening Out."
At night, a man walks his dog. He's stopped to look at a bulletin board listing for a lost cat. A huge cat (the same one from the bulletin) peeks over the roof of an apartment complex in the background. The man's dog notices, but the man is too engrossed in reading to see.

My tree has no angels, only Fists.
A Moon Knight action figure tied to the top of a tree instead of an angel, because Moon Knight is cool

My friends went to the Disney Not-So-Scary Halloween party and bought me this amazing popcorn bucket!
A popcorn bucket shaped like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. Stitch is dressed like a mummy and he's holding a Jack-o-Lantern full of candy in one hand and a fistful of candy in the other.

Even Man-Things deserve to trick or treat. I'm afraid I don't know the artist.
Man-Thing stands on a suburban street, holding a tiny plastic bag with a Jack-o-Lantern on it. Three children, one dressed as Spider-Man, one as a ghost, and one as a pirate, stand before him.

I'm afraid I don't know the artist, but this is great. Although, Nancy in the Pan doesn't have the same ring as Jan in the Pan.
A rendition of the movie poster for The Brain that Wouldn't Die, except it's Nancy from Nancy and Sluggo comics as the dismembered head in a pan.

A painting of animals in autumn. A black cat holds a white gourd. A frog in a red pointed hat carries a pumpkin. A frog walks, holding a toadstool like an umbrella. And a mother possum with babies clinging to her back carries a basket full of gourds.

Odd, my therapist said the same thing.
A scene from Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance. The subtitle reads, "It's your fate to live in a hell of murder and demonic savagery."

I found the Criterion Blu-ray of the two Lady Snowblood movies at a used bookstore. Gotta say, I never expected to read "The vagina goddess has graced us with a visit" ever in my life.

This movie is great.
A picture of a TV with a scene from the 1973 movie Lady Snowblood paused. A group of men surround Lady Snowblood and the subtitle reads, "The vagina goddess has graced us with a visit!"

Check out what came in the mail! This new edition is gorgeous. Also much needed as my old copy is falling apart.
The new Dark Horse edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. The first edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. Interior of the first edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. Many of the pages are loose. Dang thing is falling apart. An open page of the new edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. It's beautiful!

Every year I buy one more item for my Halloween decorations. Couldn't pass up this cute little critter.
A Halloween decoration of a black cat wearing an orange witch hat and riding a broom. It looks like a very happy Halloween kitty.
